Webinar - Security: Computing in an Adversarial Environment

Security: Computing in an Adversarial Environment

Thursday, April 12, 2012 at 2:00 PM EDT/1:00 PM CDT/11:00 AM PDT  Security is inherently different from other aspects of computing due to the presence of an adversary.  As a result, identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities requires a different mindset from traditional engineering. Proper security engineering—or the lack of it!—affects everything from website scripts to supply chain management to electronic health records to social networks to mobile phones… and the list goes on. Security is further complicated by the translation of social notions— such as identity and trust— into an online world. Worse, security itself is often viewed by both developers and users as the adversary! This learning webinar will introduce the fundamentals of security,  describe the security mindset, and highlight why achieving security is difficult.  What you’ll learn:  The security mindset – what it is, why it's needed  The social side of security – usability, adoption, identity, trust  A deeper dive on insider threat as a case study – what it is, how to detect it, how to prevent it  Attendance for this webinar is free. Space is limited.
